Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$. Identify the correct choice in the given answers.
$A$. The refractive index of the extra-ordinary ray depends on the angle of incidence in double refraction.
$B$. The vibrations of light waves acquire one-sidedness for both ordinary and extraordinary rays in double refraction.

$A$ beam of plane polarized light falls normally on a polarizer of cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$. The flux of energy of the incident ray is $10^{-3} \, W$. The polarizer rotates with an angular frequency of $31.4 \, rad/s$. The energy of light passing through the polarizer per revolution is:
